I don't have mine, due to epilepsy and I've decided that it'd be a wiser idea not to drive at all.

I really suck at driving, Im 19 and Ive had my permit for 2 years and failed my drivers license 4 times. It doesnt help that I go out of state for college, can only practice at home. Next summer I have a plan that i'll focus on getting it really hard which is something I shouldve done this summer. I'll call up my driving teacher, and ask him to be super hard on me whenever we drive, its the only way. As well as practice as much as I possibly can

I used to hate driving but now I'm more comfortable. I took much longer to get my license than my peers. I also failed my first driving test, and had a meltdown when my mom said I had to try again the next day, no matter what. I ended up doing it again the next day despite not wanting to, and I passed.

I've had my drivers license for almost a year now. I still can't believe I passed my driving test the first time, I was a nervous wreck. I like driving alone, but not with people in the car.

I have had my permit for 2 years now and have only just made an effort to drive since I will need to drive myself to school this year... only 35/40 hours to go before being allowed to recieve the licence, not counting the required Behind the Wheel course.

I have never liked driving so I would always procrastinate in that area, but now that I have motivation it seems easier than before!

I haven't got a license (I'm 13), but I work at a farm and drive a tractor with a manual clutch, transmission, and choke.

I been driving sticks/manuals since I was 16. Drove my dad's car today, couldn't find a reason for it to be jerky other than the driver. Yes I'm saying my dad can't drive smoothly :lol: I only drove his small car for the first time today and can get a smooth ride out of it

Yeah, a carburettor fed engine. The best I find, control over the engine management. I just let the choke in slowly as I drive it more.

Gonna be getting my permit very soon, turn 16 on sept. 11th, and hopefully will get my permit right after that. Probably gonna be stuck in parents car (automatic) at least until I get my license, but I hope to get a manual car before too long.
